I said she's racist, unqualified, an enemy of freedom, and <I>unempathetic</I>. Do you have a response to any of these assertions?<br /><br />And I am concerned about the empathy thing, but not because the president called her empathetic. Bush calling Thomas empathetic is another thing entirely from the media, Senate, and White House clamoring together for a month about the need for empathy and gushing over Sotomayor's empathy. That's what worries me- especially when she's so <I>not</I> empathetic.<br /><br />I also find your selection of Justice Thomas' confirmation process interesting, because I do recall a long and bitter confirmation battle for him, something I'm guessing you'd call partisan bickering if the GOP put Sotomayor through it.<br /><br /><B>@ccoffer</B> Thanks, Chuck. Know about any good openings at Fox or CNN? I'd take one in a heart beat. Hopefully with my blogging and writing I can get to that point and try to make a serious dent in the size and scope of our government.W. E.

I didn't quite phrase it...You make a good point. <br /><br />I didn't quite phrase it that way in the article (I simply called Sotomayer's views as expressed in 2001 "racist"), but I think you've got a better way of putting it: in 2001 Sotomayer expressed a belief in her racial superiority to white people. <br /><br />It is unbelievable that someone who has said such a thing would be appointed to such a high office of government.<br /><br />As for the issue of immigration, that opens up a whole different and somewhat nuanced can of worms. I hope to address the issue of American immigration policy in its entirety sometime soon on this blog.W. E.

The media buzz surrounding this is awfully muted. This incompetent hack is on record explicitly announcing a belief in her racial superiority to white colored people. While I reject the notion that there is such a thing as a "latina" identity that is distinct in any meaningful way, it's interesting that she would feel so casual and comfortable in going out of her way to demean other people solely on the basis of them being what is referred to as "white".<br /><br />And the response? "Well, that's justified, understandable, wise, whatever...."<br /><br /><br /> Its akin to the same insulting reasoning that suggests a guy who legally moves here from Chile should be all in favor of allowing (hell, encouraging) destitute, illiterate third world desperadoes to sneak into this country at will.ccofferhttp://ccoffer.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
